S.U.C.C.E.S.S.'s Services for Refugees and How You Can Help

S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Services for Refugees

The Government of Canada has announced that they will be resettling 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of February 2016. As one of the largest newcomer-serving organizations in BC, S.U.C.C.E.S.S. is committed to welcoming and assisting Syrian refugees in integrating into their new communities.

Through a coordinated response to settlement and integration, multiple programs in S.U.C.C.E.S.S. already assist refugees in a safe and supportive environment; we are poised to address the high integration and settlement barriers they experience due to trauma, gaps in education, language, literacy challenges and skills development, lack of access to health care providers and other factors.

Softies for Love ProjectAn estimated 40% of the refugees that BC will receive in the coming weeks could be children.

S.U.C.C.E.S.S. hopes that the Softies for Love project can contribute to relieving some of the fears and anxieties that displacement and trauma create and provide hope and heart for a new life in Canada.
